Subway debuts new concept on university campus

Subway Café features expanded menu and high-end finishes.

April 25—Subway is debuting a new concept at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton called Subway Café.

The new concept is one of many to come to South Florida soon, according to Subway Development Corp. chief executive, Larry Feldman.Subway Café will offer an expanded menu, which includes gourmet coffee, salads, paninis and pastries. The new stores will offer leather seating, with hardwood and marble floors, stone inlays in the walls and flat screen televisions in the dining area. Feldman says that the new design will open mainly in metropolitan areas, such as high-rise office buildings, university campuses, fitness centers and hospitals.

City officials are weighing changes to school menus less than one year after earlier changes drew parent criticism. Officials say those menu changes were not final, and an advisory board is suggesting healthier, fresher dishes and a more expansive in-class breakfast program.
